Last Friday I weighed 349 pounds which was five pounds higher than my lowest weight to date and I was hoping that I could get to 344 again so that I can start to record losses once again. Hoping? me hope for weight loss? nah I did something about it because hoping things will happen instead or making them happen is how I got into this mess in the first place! The decision to make something happen this week was made and the scale confirms that fact, I weighed 341.0 pounds this morning, yes that's more than an eight pound loss for the week! I am three pounds lower than my lowest weight and only seven pounds away from having lost 200 total pounds! Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.
The toe nail color is not part of my Saturday nights! it is part of having a daughter that doesn't realize that daddy's don't wear nail polish! 
This 1981 Suzuki GSX250 weighs in at 341 pounds just like me. 
Finally this Mio 50 scooter weighs 193 pounds which as we know is what I have lost so far. I could not be any more pleased than I already am with this mornings weigh in, I have stayed strict with my exercise and with my intake this week and it has paid off. I am pretty excited that I am only seven pounds from hitting that 200 pound lost mark and for some strange reason it feels like its going to feel like starting over again when I get there, I had that same feeling when I hit 100 pounds lost. It is almost like because I am hitting a whole number that I am starting off at 1 again and as crazy as that sounds it really is how I felt at 100 pounds lost and now that I am almost to 200 pounds lost that same thing is happening again, and this morning is the first time that I felt that way, in fact the feeling came while writing this post.
My intake for yesterday was good coming in at 1570 total calories, for exercise I went for a 1.5 mile walk on a very steep hilly section around my house and I think I will incorporate this route into my walks at least twice per week from now on because the hills made a difference in the way I felt, it made the walk feel like exercise, I also did 50 push ups and some dumb bell curls earlier in the day. I consumed 1 gallon of green tea and 1/2 gallon of straight H2O along with a diet coke that I shared with my daughter at lunch again so I am hydrated.
A good week for sure and the plan is to keep on with what I am doing until I hit my goal, I have lost 36.14% of my total body weight since starting in January 2008 and gained much more than that in other aspects of my life. To say that making the decision to drop all of the weight that was holding me back was the best thing that I could have done does not strongly enough state that fact and explain how it feels to have lost the amount of weight that I have lost. My next goal will be to drop that last 7 pounds so that I can hit that 200 pound lost mark and after than I want to be under 300 pounds, the goals will never stop coming even after I hit my ideal weight either and that is the attitude that has driven me through this process thus far.
Keep on keepin on and all that and don't forget that H2O!
